February 2018

Robert Nogues has decided to offer his RELL6G/Alexander (ex-Citybus 2446) WOI2446
for sale. It is currently roadworthy with a valid MOT and comes with a
quantity of spares. Robert is asking £2500 and if you are genuinely

September 2017

Mike Pannell is rationalising
his fleet of Lodekkas and so is making open-top FLF6G 409PTA available in Wyoming,
U.S.A. It is currently a non-runner but could be repaired. He also
has available the front end from 136HUO
which is in an unknown condition but could possibly be used to repair
the open-topper. Enquiries to Mike at michael.pannell@btinternet.com.

March 2017
As reported recently on this website, Wolfram acquired former Western National LD6G 1933 (UOD487)
last year for spare parts to repair his own accident-damaged TUO503.
This work is now complete but he has no need for the remains of 1933
nor a place to store it, so he is offering the bus free of charge
to
anyone who can make use of it. The down side is that the bus is in Austria and you will of course need to have
it towed
away, but if you are interested please contact Wolfram either through
Facebook or at wolfram.niedermayer@feel-events.at

October 2016
Two LHs currently in the care of Heritage Malta are currently being
offered for sale by tender alongside various other vehicles. The first

tender can be found here.

August 2016Former Red & White FS6G AAX21B is currently for sale in Moscow. Any
brave souls out there looking to take on a Lodekka should contact
Leonid Kozlov at fobos5@hotmail.com
for further details but I don't advise sending money abroad until you
know what you're getting!

June 2016
Owing to the impending loss of storage very rare dual-door RESL6G CCG296K
which was new to Aldershot & District is being offered for sale by
Mike Grant. It has been stood outside for many years and is still in
the same condition as when it was used by the London Borough of
Redbridge as a mobile day centre. It must be sold, or it will have to
go for scrap so please make Mike an offer on 01708 509058 or email dogsrus1957@yahoo.co.uk.

Former Ulsterbus RELL6G/Alexander (Belfast)

366660.

sale and can be contacted at bfountain@cavendishliner.com

2015Rare
ex-West Midlands P.T.E. MCW-bodied VR GOG653N

years ago but has not moved since 2007. Would need a heavy clean and
thorough tidy up. Complete with seats it will need mechanical attention

preservation - contact paul@onestopbikebits.co.uk

Former City of Oxford Series 2 VR GUD751N has been used for many years as a
playbus, first around London and then more recently in Wales, but it is now surplus to requirements
and is a rare opportunity to acquire a roadworthy early VR. The bus has
a built-in Honda generator, battery charger, Webasto heater and toilet.
It is taxed to the end of July 2013 and has an MOT that runs to the end
of January 2013. It can be driven away on a car licence (under the 30
year rule) and the owners are open to offers. If you are interested

away if relicensed (both are currently on SORN). If you are interested
in either or both then please contact Maldwyn Jones at
orjonescoaches@hotmail.co.uk or on 01407 730204 (during office

This is almost certainly the last chance to buy Northern
Counties-bodied former Cleveland TransitRDC108R which was converted for use as a
playbus many years ago and which is now resident in Denmark. The owner
is making it as simple as possible to acquire it by offering to deliver
it to the Esjberg end of the Harwich ferry (it drives with no problems
apparently - it was driven to Denmark as recently as 2010). It has four
new retreads at the rear and two brand new (in 2010) tyres on the
front. He is asking for £2400 cash on collection and can be contacted
at gotschalk@gmail.dk

Voel of Dyserth have operated
Alexander-bodied Bristol VRs for more than 20 years but have now
withdrawn their last example, former Northampton
dual-door VVV63S which they would like to
sell for preservation rather than straight to the scrapman. It still
has a small amount left on its MOT and is available for £500 plus VAT
with a selection of spares which will no longer be of any use to the
operator. For further information please contact Neil Dyke on 01745
570309.

Former Western National Bristol SU 637 (351EDV) has been used
for many years as a travellers' mobile home but has been abandoned for
some time in Hollingdean, Brighton. It has been vandalised but is
largely complete. Andrew Pill is willing to act as mediator in any
rescue attempt so if you are interested in making enquiries about
acquiring this vehicle then please contact Andrew at yak6262@yahoo.co.uk

Bart Prins has acquired WNO475 in order to save it from
conversion in Holland. He is keen to see it returned to the UK and
would be pleased to hear from potential buyers at bart@prins.nl

May 2010

Former Bristol Omnibus LH6L SWS774S was discovered recently in
Strabane, Northern Ireland and was to have been purchased by the Falls
Bus Preservation Group. However on inspection there was more work to be
done than they wanted to take on, so the bus is still available. Ken
Menagh is prepared to broker a sale with the owner so if you are
interested please contact Ken at s.menagh@ntlworld.com

NTC573R was something of a
celebrity VR during its time with First in Devon
and Cornwall. It has a few bits missing, mainly windows and seats,
but is restorable. The engine is very good and is reputedly a
reconditioned unit that was fitted shortly before withdrawal. It needs
batteries and has no MOT. Also available is
Western National 1145 (AFJ747T) which is in as withdrawn condition. It was driven
from Newquay to Loddiswell, drives nicely and only needs batteries to
be driven away. No MOT. Currently missing a windscreen but this can be
provided. Enquiries for either to Colin Billington at royal_blue@lineone.net or
phone 07990 505373.

Here is an offer more usually to be
found down your local Tescos - Buy One Get One Free on Bristol REs!!

gesture to anyone willing to preserve and build it up to its former
glory. It is not to be taken it for scrap. Presently located near
Edinburgh, Scotland. Whoever acquires this bus will need to arrange to
move it at their expense, as soon as possible. Needs one side window.
Has no seats, but a full set is available in Nottingham. Front and rear corner panels
are also supplied. Fibreglass mould for front panel supplied. Needs
Leyland engine and 4 speed
gear box. . Please phone Freddie on 07718-305813.
